I am a little worried about your exhaust sizing I would have done the 3" back but that may be ok. Did you go with a larger throttle body or port your it.

Man I thought I was going to be the first to hit 450 crank but you got a nice package there. On the transmission you upgraded the gears too or just had extra oiling done to it.
Did you get the APR head bolt studs ?

Keep us updated on the project.




yeah, its going to have to be modified more than likely, but it will due for now. Ive already spent quite a bit of money on this project, school, etc. Its just something to get me started.

Im still looking into the head bolts. Rick said it was about $250 for the set which sounds pretty pricey. I guess is there any real advantage in having the APR studs compared to just new oem studs?
